Hey Democratic "leaders", what in hell are you all waiting for?
Isn't it about time we started hearing all the right kinds of NASTY rhetoric coming from our Democratic spokesmen and aimed at our Rethuglican counterparts? Is it not too early to start getting tough?

WTF? The economy is in a shambles, gas prices are at a record high, there's an unjust war going on, kids are shooting kids, there's still no healthcare for millions, and no one is happy. On top of that, we just got our asses dragged through the mud in one of the nastiest, most VILE elections ever, and yet we're STILL laying back being meek and mild losers in the midst of all this corruption and darkness. Instead of taking the offense and getting even with them during this golden opportunity to do so, all we're seeing is Bill Clinton and Old Man Bush slipping each other some tongue. Unfuckingbelievable!

Will someone in our party with a backbone please rise up and start slinging some truthful mud? I mean, we're in the midst of one of the darkest eras in the history of this country.....it's the perfect opportunity to start with the offense in the form of some ugly trashing of THEM. They did it to us; well isn't it time for us to return the favor......or are our Democratic "leaders" simply going to leave it up to Air America Radio and Barbara Boxer to do all the dirty work?

Nice guys DO finish last when it comes to politics in this screwed-up country. We should be hitting them TENFOLD with what they did to us, and there is no better time to be starting than right now! All they have to do is shout out the truth. Why are our leaders so quiet and complacent???

Come on, Hillary, Ted, Bill, Jesse, Joe, Obama, John, & John.... Get nasty! Name names! Have some balls! Wake the hell up!! Unless you start beating the drum with the BLATANT truth, the masses of fools will never wake up. Here, I'll give you a few examples of what you can say in your next interview to get a little attention:

"George W Bush is a LIAR and he should be serving the rest of his life in jail for his corrupt war he started over oil and contracts for his corporate buddies. It had nothing to do with spreading democracy."

"Tom DeLay is a fanatical MADMAN, who's the epitome of everything that goes wrong when you use religion for all the wrong reasons."

Now say something like THAT and you will get some attention! Then the message will sink in and we'll start winning elections.

Don't you realize that the other side deserves this? Please stop playing it so safe!

1. My answer to the DNC when they call for money is...
"Yeah, you put Howard Dean in as Chair, in an attempt to keep the real Democrats in the fold, but until the Democrats in Congress grow a backbone and start fighting back, you will not get one more penny from me.

Give them this message and then call back."

To those who say we have no other place to go, I ask, "can things be any worse if the party powerful suffer at the polls for abandoning our principles?"
